“Work No. 472” by Martin Creed, created in 2005, is an abstract piece of the Minimalism art movement. The artwork exemplifies Creed’s adherence to minimalistic principles through its reduced forms and straightforward composition.
The artwork features an array of parallel horizontal lines in varying shades of red and pink, arranged in a seemingly simplistic yet meticulously ordered structure. The interplay between the colors and lines produces a rhythmic and almost hypnotic visual effect. The minimalistic design eschews complexity, emphasizing uniformity and precision. The flowing lines convey a sense of calm and impart a meditative quality to the piece, characteristic of Creed’s minimalist approach.
